It has every thing to do with demonstrating to the players that losing isn’t acceptable and that management will do whatever it takes to push forward. This message also needs to be demonstrated towards fans, ownership, and local stakeholders. Doing nothing and having another bad season could lead to a toxic environment just as we saw in Buffalo, Columbus, etc. Guys like JT Miller, Schmidt, and Myers were just brought in to be Christmas ornaments, and it needs to be known that this past season was an anomaly.........and not the 19/20 season. This organization is not deep enough to be trading future assets for this years on ice product. Using assets to clear cap space for one season would be the dumbest thing Jim could do. Each year he should add a piece and hopefully the development side will produce a piece. Lets not forget that Pod is coming in this year. If Holtby gets taken and they buy out Jake they will have some cash to add to our D. Next year they will have another 9 mil to spend. Maybe our 9th overall pick will be ready for 2022.

He only played 7gms last season, so will likely be in Abby for this one. I would rather have Beagle around, seeing as we don't have a homegrown replacement for him. If he's healthy, he's an adequate 4C. Yes, he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Benning is going to tweak this even more. But if we went into next season with that lineup I think we would be fine. We just need to work on the D now. A couple of RHD is what we need. Give me some Jani Hakanpaa. And go all in for Erik Cernak and we are done. Still need another top 6 to push Pearson and Motte down. Benning isn’t done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roussell on his prime was a very underrated playmaker. Not sure this guy has that playmaking ability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 2 minutes ago, Patel Bure said: Loui in Abby only saves us like a million in cap (although I get what you’re saying). I say we move Loui, clear 6 million, and make serious strides to fielding a more competitive team this coming season. Now more than ever, the players need to be believe that last season was the anomaly (ie this core’s version of 2007/2008), and not the highly successful 2019-2020 season. I get where you're coming from Pat, but to dump Loui, the team will have to send along a high draft pick, or good nhl player, or adecent prospect. Just not worth it for 1yr. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm counting 22 million coming off the books next year. Holtby may get picked up in ED this year. Jake will probably get bought out this year. I forgot about Rousell and Beagle for next. At least they might play this year . The 9 mil from LE and Loui is dead space. Those ones really hurt. 2022 is the year they will be back in the money as long as they don't do anything big this year. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle takes Tarasenko and we trade a pick and a prospect to them and they retain 50% of his salary. At $3.75 million for the next two years Tarasenko would be a steal.

Most recent report states that the Canucks are still very interested in Hyman so I am wondering what JB is planning if he still wants a top 6 forward. JB can't get any more creative to upgrade this team adding Hyman without letting go Boeser.... Unless he can somehow find takers for Eriksson or Beagle or Roussel + Virtanen! Keep in mind any savings from letting go Edler and Sutter will only cover about 80% of Petey & Hughes $ for next season!! Holtby gotta be picked up by Seattle if we wanna do more!

I wouldnt say it’s weak but it could definitely benefit from a player like Bertuzzi, Saad, or Hyman. The bottom 6 also looks much better with Pearson in it.

Podz could be too but when you go into a season with could and ifs you are pretending right off out of the gate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
